Thank you for the suggestion, but I'm interested in an NTSC widescreen verison of the film, not a PAL version.

Cheers!

You can use some programs to interpolate PAL into NTSC with progressive 24fps video. You'll get excellent quality without ghosting or interlacing (or speedup, even) while keeping it 24fps. Not to mention it would be 16x9 enhanced. You might even be able to add the NTSC version's DTS track and sync it up to the PAL conversion. A lot better than having to settle for laserdisc which will be much lower quality and non-anamorphic. Best of all, it would be 100% digital and you won't have to work with analog video.
